Another modified spinneret was designed with multiple single jets in order to enhance nanofibers spinning rate of PEO (Theron et al. 2005) or to prepare nanofibrous mats composed of two different and immiscible polymers such as PVA and cellulose acetate. A multiple jet composed of four tips was used in order to blend PVA and cellulose acetate nanofibers in different ratios (Pham et al. 2006). In another study, a collector moving transversely was used in front of a multiple jet composed of two tips in order to produce a mixture of electrospun PEO and polyurethane (PU) nanofibers and a uniform distribution of this mixture was achieved due to the motion of the collector (Kidoaki et al. 2005).
